Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to participate in the Special Issue entitled “Recent Advancement in Sustainable Energy Harvesting Devices Using Piezoelectric Materials” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies).
This Special Issue aims to cover recent achievements in the fields of sustainable energy-harvesting devices using piezoelectric materials, and to discuss various key aspects to improve their overall performance as well as their integration and/or wearability. More precisely, it will include:
- Novel geometrical configurations at the meso-, micro- and nanoscale;
- Recent inorganic, organic, composite or bio-piezoelectric materials;
- Performance-enhancement mechanisms such as frequency tuning methods, non-linearity’s exploitations and electronic management systems;
- Low power, integrated and/or wearable applications in the fields of Transportation/Mobility, Human Healthcare, Smart Cities and Environment.
Prof. Dr. Grondel Sébastien
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
